Sir Bill Wiggin, Member of Parliament for North Herefordshire, said:
“Nobody can fail to be horrified by the attacks of armed terrorists on innocent civilians in Israel.
The attacks of Hamas are deplorable and I stand full-square with Israel.
It has every right to defend itself under the United Nations Charter.
I hope the situation will not continue to escalate but I fear that is exactly what the terrorists want to happen.
Iran should take much of the blame for the funding and encouragement they are providing Hamas.”
